Overview of remote command devices
A remote command device is a device in the local array to which a command device in the external
array is mapped.
As you send XP RAID Manager commands to a remote command device located in the local array,
you can execute those commands on the external array's command device to manage pairs in the
external array.
Figure 66 (page 127) shows an example. The OPEN host connected to the local array sends XP
RAID Manager commands for XP Business Copy or XP Continuous Access to the remote command
device. This means commands are forwarded to the command device in the external array to
operate XP Business Copy or XP Continuous Access pairs in the external array.
For more information about XP RAID Manager and command devices, see the HP XP RAID Manager
user guide.
